There is no such English word as manicheist so the assumptions you
have about my view of the conflict are unknown, but probably wrong.

I was aware of that entry. However, note that there was no
definition given for the word, so it's meaning is not known.

Perhaps to you.


Therefore, it's use is sort of pointless.

Manicheanism is a dualistic religion that is loosely related to Buddhism.


Whatever. Its' irrelevant to this thread.

This above remember me some of the funny and caricatural exchanges you
have had recently with Sander deWaal. :-)

"The most striking principle of Manichee theology is its dualism. The
universe is a battlefield for control between an evil material god and a
good spiritual god. Christians recognized the evil god in Satan but, of
course, could not accept the idea that Satan had as much power as
Jehovah, and held that Satan, unlike God, is a created being. The term
Manichaeistic is often used to describe any religion with a similar
concept of struggle between good and evil."
